What is the correct type hint when you want to accept Iterable but not Dictionary
#1
How would I indicate, using a type hint, that the function only works with a List type data structure containing only int?

I researched a little deeper and from the documentation, I found:

Quote:An object capable of returning its members one at a time. Examples of iterables include all sequence types (such as list, str, and tuple) and some non-sequence types like dict, file objects...

So a dictionary is not a sequence type, but List is, so is Sequence the appropriate type hint?

Obviously, I would filter out str, and dict, but I would like a type hint as well.

def unpack(sequence_to_unpack : Sequence[int]):
    pass
Is the above correct?
